With the introduction of the Western Digital Scorpio Blue (WD5000LPVT) drive, Western Digital is taking the traditional spinning drive model and adding some SSD reminiscent enhancements. With its new single platter design, WD is able to offer 250GB, 320GB, and 500GB capacities while reducing the drive size down to 7mm allowing them to play in the Ultrabook arena.
Today AMD launches the followup to the llano processor, the Trinity APU. Promising a trinity of bonuses, processing power, graphics power, and energy efficiency the APU could be the solution that the mobile market needs. We take a first look at the enhancements behind the new Trinity. Get a first look at what AMD is releasing in our technology preview review.
Today we take a look at Corsair’s top of the line entry into the mechanical keyboard market, the Vengeance K90. With Cherry MX Red switches, 54 fully programmable “G-keys”, multimedia controls, and laser etched backlit keys, let’s see if this fully featured board will be able to stomp the competition.
With the prices of hard drives slowly coming back to manageable prices, we’ve seen a trend of new storage “accessories” being released to the market. Today we will be looking at a hybrid between portable and RAID. The Akitio Taurus Mini Super-S LCM supports 2x 2.5″ drives in either a RAID 0 (stripe) or RAID 1 (mirror). Lets take a look at what Akitio has to say about their product:
The iPhone 5 is rumored to be coming later this year, with an official announcement expected in June around Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC).
Rumor has it that the next version of the iPhone will be made of LiquidMetal. A mix of several different metals, LiquidMetal could allow the phone to be more durable. Light like plastic but durable like aluminum, it would also allow the phone to weigh less and have a thinner profile.
While I dont normally put much stock in concept pictures this is quite good. See more at Mashable.

In this article we are going to analyse two things: first the clock per clock performance between the GTX 670 and GTX 680 both clocked at 1 GHz. To do so we have bypassed the GPU Boost so the graphics cards have a minimum and maximum clock frequency of 1 GHz. Second, we have raised the TDP of our GTX 670 to see how the GPU Boost will react and what it’s impact on performance actually is. So let’s find out what’s really happening behind the scene, let there be light! Link:

This past Mother’s Day weekend (May 12 – 13th, 2012), in the heart of Richmond, BC Canada, NCIX had their first annual Tech Fair.

From graphics, to memory, to networking and of course, motherboards, cases, video cards and monitors, every aspect of the do it yourself market was covered.
Quote: “When you are mainly a desktop user and are used to your home setup it is very uncomfortable and hard to get adjusted to a different system or a laptop. This happens to me all the time when I am traveling, especially because my home system is setup with dual displays. Laptops only have 1 screen, but what if I was to tell you that Lenovo has a light in thin portable travel monitor that you can plug into a laptop or PC that has a USB connection? The monitor I am talking about is the ThinkVision LT1421. Read on as we check it out!”
